A widespread shortage of beer has been reported in the Ashanti Region due to the Christmas festivities celebrations.<\/p>\n

According to 3news.com, drink operators have reported a shortage of Mini Club beer in parts of the Ashanti Region over the past two months.<\/p>\n

An unusual increase in demand for the beverage by residents has caused frustration among bar and pub operators, who struggled to meet the high demand from their customers. <\/p>\n

Many of them have gradually become accustomed to seeing empty shelves in their bars.<\/p>\n

According to local vendors, the shortage was especially hard hit in areas known for their vibrant nightlife, including Krofrom, Ashanti Bantama, Adum, Maxima, Asafo, Kwadaso, and other surrounding communities.<\/p>\n

Some observers attributed the surge in demand to the mood of residents, particularly supporters of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), who make up a significant portion of the region’s population.<\/p>\n

The December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections saw the NPP experience significant setbacks, with the opposition NDC making notable gains in traditionally strongholds of the ruling party.<\/p>\n
